Dear Children,
How are you?
I am delighted to hear that so many of you are working on the homework that has been posted on the website! Well done!
I have heard great reports from the teachers about you using Seesaw! I am looking forward to trying it with Hollie this week!
I am so happy to hear about all the fun activities you are doing at home.
Most importantly, I am so proud of you for staying at home so that we can all play our part in the fight against COVID-19.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Please note, in accordance with Circular 007/2020 all schools are required to draft a new Admissions Policy for approval by our patron. Accordingly we have also redrafted our Special Class Admissions Policy. Please read and submit any feedback to principal@stgabrielsns.ie by Tuesday at 2.30 p.m.
Thanking you,
Suzanne Comerford & Brenda Whyte

A big hello to all the lovely pupils of St. Gabriel’s NS! I hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break. I know most of you were out enjoying the lovely weather and I was lucky enough to see some pupils in the Phoenix Park getting some exercise with their parents and family.
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog is a sentence known as a pangram. A pangram is a sentence that contains all 26 letters of the alphabet. Check it and see! There might be some letters that appear more than once, can you find out which ones? Which letter appears the most? Write out the sentence on your whiteboard or a piece of paper and cross out each letter as you go through the alphabet. Could you make up your own pangram? I’m going to have a go myself!

Click on the picture below to see the sentence made into a song. A word of warning however, this is a song that can get stuck in your head for weeks!
Try to keep up your reading. It’s a great idea to read a book that you have read before and that you know well. When I was in school my favourite books to read again and again were The BFG by Roald Dahl and The Magic Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton. For those of you who have PM readers at home, pick a book you already know and like and read it for someone. Pick a different one every day this week and then try a new book that you haven’t read before on Friday.
And finally try to keep practising your Bumblebee Breath and your yoga poses. The Cat is my absolute favourite at the moment!
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I hope that you and your family continue to be safe and well in these unprecedented circumstances.
I hope that you all have had some kind of a break over the Easter holidays.
I know that for many of you, circumstances will have changed as a result of Covid-19. All of the staff will do their best to support you remotely for the coming weeks in so far as we can.

e will continue to post up new work to be done at home each week. Feel free to work through this in any order as you may still have things from Week 1 that your child would like to continue working on.
You can also complete work set by other teachers as there may be tasks that your child is interested in doing from the classes below or above them, or indeed work set by our Support Team Teachers: Ms O Leary, Ms Whyte, Ms Fahey, Ms Dunne, Ms Fitzpatrick, Ms Hanlon & Mrs Condron. Continue reading
